Generator remote monitoring and control

[eleceng85]

Hi

i need to monitor and control the generator by PC via GSM
(i choose the gsm bcoz the genset in the desert, away 100 km from the control room) the generator's control module is DSE7510, i have also GSM modem (Wavecom fastrack M1306B) and pc software for monitoring. my inquiry is do i need the same modem to be connected to the pc or different type ? what should the gsm network support to transfer the required data ? (our gsm network support the GPRS) does the data transfer through the internet ?
please any one share some info about that i'll be so thankful

thanks alot

Deep sea technical support reply but it is disappointed :-( : Deep sea technical support :You can use any modem for the PC side, we recommend the Multitech Global Modem ZBA or the Wavecom Fastrak as we know them to work well.
The SIM card in the GSM modem must support CSD (Circuit Switched Data) over the GSM network to allow data transfer to work correctly.
Me: Can I use the internet via GPRS or via satellite instead of CSD (Circuit Switched Data) ? because the GSM network in Iraq doesn’t support CSD (Circuit Switched Data)
Deep sea technical support:Sorry, no, the DSE module supports only CSD over GSM.
We have no support for satellite or GRPS. :-(
